Chapter 451 Xuanyuan Requests for an Interview
What Lin Junxue was waiting for was that the empress dowager would start to try all kinds of medical treatments in desperation.
Without Nanny Wu by her side, the Queen Mother had no one to consult.
The eldest princess is her dearest, and in order to prevent the eldest princess from marrying Xuanyuan Jing, the empress dowager can only think of this step.
But Xie Yu is no longer a newcomer to the throne, and now he does not need the support of the empress dowager's family.
If the Queen Mother joins forces with her mother's family cronies in the court to stop this, the entire family will be dragged into trouble.
The water is very muddy.
However, the muddier the better
It’s fun when muddy waters are stirred up, isn’t it?
the other side
Palace
Xuanyuan Jing looked at the guard kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice, "You said that last night, the eldest princess was slapped twice by the emperor of Xie State, and was sent back to the princess's mansion and locked up. But do you know why?"
The guard said, "Your Highness, I have already found out everything about this matter. Yesterday, the eldest princess was in the Zhonghe Palace of the Queen of Xie State. For some reason, she suddenly dropped some white porcelain. The broken pieces injured the Queen of Xie State. The Emperor of Xie State was furious and beat the eldest princess. Today, everyone knows about this matter."
When Lin Junxue was mentioned, a hint of barely perceptible discomfort flashed across Xuanyuan Jing's eyes.
I remember that day and the scene in the imperial garden.
The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, sparkling like fine pieces of gold.
Lin Junxue just stood there quietly, wearing a simple and elegant dress.
Like a white lotus quietly blooming in the world, fresh and unworldly.
And when they met again at the banquet, the feeling of amazement was as overwhelming as the tide.
He forcibly suppressed the thoughts that he shouldn't have.
That was the queen of Xie State.
She was like a fairy from heaven, and her every move, every frown and every smile exuded a charm that made people intoxicated.
That night, when he came back, his dreams were filled with the image of Queen Xie.
Xuanyuan Jing was thoughtful
"In this case, if I want to reject the princess's proposal, it seems that I need someone to speak to the emperor of Xie. Everyone knows that the princess of Xie is very favored, but the emperor of Xie actually beat the princess because of the queen. It seems that the rumors I heard are true. The queen of Xie is really favored. So, if the queen can say a few good words for me, maybe I don't have to marry the slut princess."
Xuanyuan Jing had originally doubted whether Queen Lin Junxue was really favored, but now it seems that it is indeed the case.
Xuanyuan Jing said, "Let Princess Minmin come to see me. Tomorrow, let her ask to see the Queen of Xie State. If I follow her, I won't arouse suspicion."
The guards took the order and went down.
When Xuanyuan Jing thought about seeing Lin Junxue again, for some reason, his heart suddenly felt hot.
Second day
morning
Xuanyuan Jing and Xuanyuan Min went to see the Queen Mother
However, when they arrived at Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother only asked Wang Chu to send two people away, saying that she was not feeling well.
Xuanyuan Jing's original intention was not for the Queen Mother. The person he really wanted to see was Lin Junxue, but he did it to avoid being found guilty.
Xuanyuan Jing presented gifts and took Xuanyuan Min to Zhonghe Palace.
Zhonghe Palace
Today, Lin Junxue was wearing a gorgeous purple palace dress. The purple was like violets in the night, deep and mysterious.
The palace dress was embroidered with delicate golden patterns, which looked like stars dotted among them, shining brightly.
The skirt slowly unfolds like a wave, and every fold looks so delicate and sophisticated.
A ribbon of the same color was tied around the waist, with a small and exquisite jade pendant hanging on it.
She wore a purple phoenix crown on her head, which was inlaid with countless precious gems.
The sunlight shines on it, refracting colorful light.
She looked like a fairy from wonderland, breathtakingly beautiful.
Sitting elegantly on that high position
Then, she slowly raised her jade-white fingers and picked up the exquisite teacup with an extremely elegant posture.
Every move exudes a unique temperament.
This scene is like a painting.
Xuanyuan Min is still a teenage girl
The first time she saw Lin Junxue, she froze in place, and even greeted her slowly.
She had never seen such a beautiful woman in her life.
Also amazed was Xuanyuan Jing
I thought I had already been astounded by her beauty at the banquet, but I didn't expect this.
Today, she is even more beautiful.
Lin Junxue spoke softly
"Second Prince, Princess Minmin has come all the way from Xuanyuan Country. Thank you for your hard work. Is there something you want to see me today?"
Lin Junxue went straight to the point and asked Xuanyuan Jing why he came.
Xuanyuan Jing glanced at Xuanyuan Min. Xuanyuan Min stood up, saluted, and had someone present the specially prepared specialties of Xuanyuan Country.
As soon as you open the box of the jade fan, you can tell at first sight that it is of rare quality in the world.
Lin Junxue asked Danzhen to put it away and smiled slightly.
"I like it very much, Second Prince, Princess Minmin is sorry for the trouble."
Xuanyuan Min said, "Empress, I'm glad you like it. This is the first time I've seen a woman as beautiful as you. You're so pretty."
Lin Junxue could tell that Xuanyuan Min's praise was genuine, and he was indeed a lovely child.
Xuanyuan Jing then stood up
"My Queen, please forgive me. Minmin has a casual personality and my uncle has always doted on her. If there are any inappropriate words or actions, please forgive me, Queen."
Lin Junxue curled her lips and looked at Xuanyuan Min who was standing there, a little nervous.
"It's okay, Princess Minmin is innocent and naive, I like her very much."
Xuanyuan Jing was relieved when he saw Lin Junxue's expression. He sat down, took a sip of tea, and then looked up.
"My Queen, I came here today to ask for something."
Lin Junxue's eyes deepened slightly, and she said softly, "The Second Prince specially brought Princess Minmin with him today, and also prepared such a generous gift, so why not just say it directly?"
Xuanyuan Jing stood up and bowed again
"Empress, I would like to ask you to say a few good words to the Emperor. The Emperor intends to marry the eldest princess to me and let her marry to Xuanyuan Country. To be honest, I already have a favorite princess, and I really don't want to let down the woman I love. The eldest princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and it is really unfair for her to marry me."
Xuanyuan Jing's gaze fell on Lin Junxue, but only for a second before he looked away.
for a while
Lin Junxue looked at Xuanyuan Jing, her eyes slightly raised.
"The Second Prince came here today for this matter. I'll tell you the truth. The Emperor wants to marry the eldest princess to you, but I'm afraid there's no room for maneuver."
Xuanyuan Jing frowned. It seemed that the emperor of Xie Kingdom had really made up his mind.
Lin Junxue slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
From this moment on, in the conversation with Xuanyuan Jing.
The initiative is in her hands.
